Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

r'LASGOW CORPORATION may 'Li experiment with one-man-operated single-decker buses, according to a statement by ale Sam Hughes, convener of the transport committee. CouncillOr Hughes added that changes must come in view of the present economic position of the department, V{7hich-has a loan debt of £800,000 and is short of several hundred drivers. Staff is a constant worry, changing at the rate of 50 per cent in a year.

ClIr. Hughes continued by asking for 3 Id. on the 3d. minimum' fare, which would bring in an additional £250,000 per year and offset the recent wage award. He made the predictions that Glasgow would have to impose an absolute ban on kerbside parking in the city centre if public transport was to keep moving efficiently, and that the future vvas " pretty hopeless" unless the Government put public transport in the control of regional boards.
